Your Navigation bar is going to be a big issue. Its too thin and difficult to see and engage (click)...especially with that distracting background. Need to re-think this.

Just tryin’ to help.

You can change the background image via the XML or just have a plain color.

Yes, you do need to rethink this. Very frustrating. Would not want to return. Suggest coming back with another page graphic so others that have felt the same way will take a “new” look. Page needs controls.

Polaradine says

lol, I was alright with the navigation, it is annoying how its moving, although I get its to follow the mouse. Perhaps since your an author who is uploading many variations of similar files you have, you should have one which previews the nav docked at the bottom and have it with a minimize button or fading out when the mouse is no longer over it for a period of time.

I do have to agree about the initial background image. Why? That is a major eye hurter. Anyway nice file I guess, not sure if there was much of a change to this one compared to its previous version, apart from the first image and additional nav changes. I like how your smartly preloading the images though.

It’s much different to the previous version – it’s a whole template, you can make as many sections as you want, as many galleries or text sections. Previous version was only one standalone gallery. Noted about the docked menu, thanks. Agreed about the background.. Will probably change this soon.. :)

CK, all of your files are astonishing, and this one is not an exception to the rule. Rather, it’s one of the most intuitive and easy-to-use image gallery here on FD! I love the way the navbar follows the mouse and fades away. I love the sliding thumbnails. I just love the feel of this gallery!

I guess Polaradine has a point about the first image, the diagonal stripes are kinda’ disturbing to the eye to some extent. Except for that, the gallery is simply amazing!

Great job as always! Added to my bookmarks

I too was a bit disturbed by the background image, but after seeing the rest of the template, you made up for it ;) Suggestion would be to change the background, nothing else :)

peejay says

interesting idea. good to see someone sticking their neck out and trying something different. But it totally threw me in the begining. I thought the preview was broken and I closed it down. When I reada the comments I realised there was something more. Also going fromn a dark image to the white background isn’t to easy on the eyes.

I like it, I like it a lot because is quite different than other gallery templates here. I do agree with the comments and I think that Christian should put a little bit more work when launching a new template, after all a buyer should put little work to modify it (sub categories, slideshow etc). The file got a lot of potential dough… and I was saying I like it so I’ll buy it.

Wow! Do I start with the bad or the good? Let’s eat dessert first!

What a kick ass viewer. Wonderful presentation. I have been shopping for something different and stunning and this is the closest I have found.

You officially ROCK !!!

Now the …um…experience:

Well…that first screen with the stripes does you no favors at all. Next, if you have your mouse in the upper half of the screen, then NO menu appears and I am left there asking myself “What was this person thinking?” Additionally it takes forever to load before anything happens and viewers with their finger on the mouse are easily seduced by the “back” button.

So…

Can you or we:

1) Make something cool happen while this baby loads (even a short test message saying to move the mouse or something). 2) Make the menu bar appear initially somewhere so there are no WTF moments like I had. 3) Make more than 6 images display on the menu bar?

With these few tweaks you will rule the universe!

Let me know please.

Thanks so much!

Clay ;-)

I really want to start my new site, but i dont really know how… :)

1. You can have as many images in each gallery as you like. 2. It automatically fits and resizes to the users’ screen/browser resolution (nothing to do with the XML though). 3. You get the all source files with help files plus example embedding files, includes FLA , SWF, XML , images, help text files, and HTML files. 4. Yes, you update the gallery with the XML . Thanks.

nlambrou says

Hi there. This is such a simple and wonderful idea – to have the menu bar floating above the image. It’s great.

I want to purchase this template but am wondering, first, whether you can have more than just six thumbnails appear on the gallery menu strip, and whether you can change the controls for how the menu moves and appears/disappears.

Also, if I have a lot of images for each gallery (i.e. 30) and I want to view the 29th, do I have to click through the entire portfolio image by image until I get to the last one? Is there a way to slide through the thumbnails or type in the number I want to view?

Regardless of these questions, it’s really a great template.

Thanks.

Currently, you can only have those 6 thumbnails shown and there is no additional controls in the XML for how the menu appears/disappears. Yes, you would have to scroll through every image or every other image, even though you don’t need to wait until they load to go to the last image for example. However, I could edit the file at a freelance rate to fit your needs. Please email if you would like modification work. Thanks.

No, the menu bar moves with mouse. I could customize this for you if you like for a small fee. Thanks.
